FY15-19 MK53 NULKA Decoy Launching System (DLS) Ship Sets, Engineering Services, Data, and Provisioned Items Orders

Added: Jan 13, 2014 1:41 pm The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to negotiate and award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to SECHAN Electronics, Inc. for: fabrication and delivery of up to twenty-two (22) MK 53 NULKA Decoy Launching System (DLS) ship sets (exclusive of MK 234 Electronic Decoy Cartridges (EDC)); data items; engineering services; and, provisioned items orders in support of continuing installations on fleet operational units.  The anticipated contract period of performance will be for FY15 requirements and four (4) option years for FY16 through FY19 requirements.  Deliveries are expected to complete 14 months after receipt of contract or option award.  

The MK 53 NULKA DLS is a deck-mounted, mortar-type, countermeasure system that is used to launch a variety of decoy cartridges to confuse hostile tracking and homing associated with anti-ship missiles.  The MK 53 NULKA DLS is an upgrade to the existing MK 36 DLS, and the major feature is the incorporation of the capability to launch the MK 234 EDC.  The major physical changes from the MK 36 DLS is the replacement of the MK 160 Launcher Power Supply with the MK 174 Processor Power Supply, the addition of the MK 24 MOD Decoy Launch Processor, and the modification of the MK 137 Launcher to accommodate two MK 234 EDCs.

The anticipated contract is intended to be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.  FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet.
